Lot sizing problem: how to add these cuts efficiently

Consider the set of constraints of the uncapacitated lot sizing problem: $$ \{(x,s,y)\in \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{B}^n \;|\;s_{t-1}+x_t = d_t+s_t,\; x_t \le My_t,\; t=1,\...

Why cannot we adapt Barvinok type counting techniques to general convex integer programs?

Decision problems in Integer Linear Programming have Lenstra type algorithms (https://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~lenstrahw/PUBLICATIONS/1983i/art.pdf) have been generalized to convex integer program ...

Algorithm to find a number B with same modulus as A with prime P and specific binary positions set to zero

Given a prime $P$, an integer $A$ $(0\leq A<P$), and a set of legal positions (encoded as a binary mask $\text{mask}$), is there an efficient algorithm to find a number $B$ that has the same ...

Questions in number theory related to $NC$ and $P$-completeness

Given $a,b\in\mathbb N$ find $\operatorname{GCD}(a,b)$. Given $a,b,c\in\mathbb N$ find $x,y\in\mathbb Z$ such that $ax+by=c$. Euclidean algorithm solves both. My question is if either 1 or 2 is in ...

Is this variant of knapsack problem strongly NP-hard?

Suppose we have a sequence of containers each of which contains multiple items. Each item $I_i$ is associated with an nonnegative weight $w_i$, a nonnegative value $v_i$, and $I_i(C)$ denotes the ID ...

Knapsack problem with capacity constraint

The traditional knapsack problem is that: given a sequence of $i$ items with positive weights $w_1,w_2,...,w_i$, positive values $v_1,v_2,...,v_i$, and a bag with capacity $B$, we want to insert items ...

How to solve MILP problem on several linear subspaces

I have a set of close mixed-integer programming problems. More exactly, all the problems share the same set of (binary and continuous) variables, the same set of linear inequality constraints, and the ...

Under what conditions does an Integer Programming problem run in polynomial time?

Given $AX\leq B$ where $A\in\Bbb Z^{m\times n}$,$B\in\Bbb Z^m$ finding $X\in\Bbb Z^n$ where $m\geq n$ is the integer programming problem. If $A$ is totally unimodular then the problem is solvable in ...

Separation of Anti-Hole Inequality

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with no loops or multiple edges, a stable set is a set of vertices for which no two vertices are adjacent. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called an odd-antihole ...

Finding integer points inside of a parallelogram

Suppose $P = \{p_1,\ldots,p_4\} \in \mathbb{R}^2$ defines a quadrilateral (here, specifically, a parallelogram). In the particular case I'm dealing with, I know that there exists at least one point ...

Maximum subset of set of Integers with minimum distance

Hi, i have a set of integers for example: {0,1,3,100,102} and i am looking for a maximum subset in which all elements have a minimum distance to all elements (or the "next" doesnt matter i guess) for ...

Domination in Nice Lattices

Let an integer vector be nice when it has only two nonzero components, which sum to zero. So (0, 0, 3, 0, -3) and (-1, 0, 1, 0, 0) are examples of nice vectors in $n=5$ dimensions. Call a lattice ...

On special type polynomial inequalities over integers

A special monomial is a monomial of the form $C\cdot x_{i_1} \cdot \ldots \cdot x_{i_n}$, where C is an integer and no variable is repeated more than once in the monomial. For instance, $x\cdot y\cdot ...
